In vivo histopathologic comparison of the acute injury following treatment with five fractional ablative laser devices.
[BACKGROUND] Both erbium (Er:YAG) and carbon dioxide (CO(2)) devices are commonly-used, efficient laser systems for aggressive skin resurfacing procedures. The devices each have different adjustable parameters (density, spot size, number of…

Refinements in abdominoplasty: a critical outcomes analysis over a 20-year period.
[BACKGROUND] The use of liposuction combined with abdominoplasty has been controversial. The combination of techniques has been associated with an increased rate of venous thromboembolism and wound-healing complications. Through improvement…
